MSMQ: What can cause a "Insufficient resources to perform operation" error when receiving from a queue?
At the time the queue only held 2,000 messages with each message being about 5KB in size.
Description. The Clear-MsmqQueue cmdlet clears queues. Specify queues to clear by using MessageQueue objects. This cmdlet returns a MessageQueue object that represents the cleared outgoing queue.
I had the same error message and the solution was simple.
There were a lot of messages sitting on various queues, and the storage limits had been reached. I went to:
Server Manager -> Features
Right clicked on Message Queuing
Selected properties
In the General tab un-ticked the storage limits
I was informed that services using MSMQ would be re-started, and then the error went away.
